Romney Lied? Say It Ain’t So.

Mitt Romney LIED under oath when he testified in the divorce of his good friend and screwed the friend’s wife out of a lot of money in the process … so claims the ex-wife of Staples’ founder Tom Stemberg…Romney characterized the Staples stock as “overvalued,” adding, “I didn’t place a great deal of credibility in the forecast of the company’s future.” …Partly as a result of Romney’s testimony, Maureen got relatively little in the divorce, but we’re told just weeks after the divorce ended, Romney and Tom went to Goldman Sachs and cashed in THEIR stock for a fortune.

 My New Front Yard This Morning

The horse’s saddles and blankets were spread out in the front yard. The family enclave I live in are ranchers. They are a delightful family and half of them speak English.

This was in my backyard this morning. Roberto is shoeing the horse.
